Fan Art Expo #1

This week I kick off a new series where I will be
showcasing fan art. Do you, or someone you know, have some great fan art they
want to share? Follow (THIS LINK) for the details. Enjoy!

RURIK
FROSTBEARD (submitted by Gobbo)

This is my Hill Dwarf Bard [College of Lore]. He plays
Didgeridoo as his main instrument and has the Sage Background. He is Lawful
Good in nature and has a love for all things concerning knowledge and
research. While he can be easily
distracted by new information, or the promise thereof, he is dedicated to
helping his friends in searching out catacombs and hidden ruins and to see
where the information contained therein leads them.

Tal Maggros(submitted

Thiswas my first character I ever rolled
up back in fourth edition. I saw the Dragonborn and fell in love with the idea
and looks. Tal was a Greatsword Fighter and a former Gladiator. He was given the red mark on his face as sort
of a trademark for himself.

I ended up drawing this in the tiny "portrait"
box on the standard character sheet. That’s why it is only a shot of his head.
The scales on his brow were going to be less purple then this, but I worked
with the colours I had a available and ended up liking this look much more.

Agrippa Mossroot andOctavian
Cloudrunner (submitted by Alex)

In our campaign, the Grippli are all but extinct, barely
living off the land in scattered tribes. After the loss of her entire Mossroot
tribe in a vicious raid by the Sahuagin, Agrippa (Ranger) roamed the land in
search of other Grippli tribes, occasionally taking up mercenary work to put
arrows in her quiver and gear on her back. This travel is how she met up with
the rest of our campaign's adventuring group.

One day, she received word that a nomadic band of Grippli
were attempting to bring the tribes together in order to preserve their race,
and it became her life's wish to help see that goal through to fruition.
Through battles with everything from vampires to barbarians, (usually with the
help of her non-Grippli adventuring companions) she proved herself worthy to
become chief of the newly forming tribe, now named Deeproot, and gained the
exceptional loyalty of a young Octavian (Rogue). Together, they work to oversee
diplomatic relations between contacted tribes, and to defend their new
homeland.

Both are chaotic neutral and put the survival of the
Grippli race and the Deeproot tribe above all else. Agrippa is very confident,
proud, rowdy, and often sarcastic, while Octavian is more of a quiet intellectual.
